Which Spurs players are worth owning in FPL this season?

3,534 Comments
Share

Tottenham Hotspur players are causing some Fantasy Premier League managers dilemmas at the start of the season.

They have a favourable opening fixture at home to Aston Villa but with a trip to Manchester City in Gameweek 2 and relatively expensive price points, their assets could be the ones to miss out on those initial teams.

However, there are some encouraging reasons to own some of Mauricio Pochettino’s players at the start of the new campaign.

In this article we assess Spurs’ defensive and attacking potential based on last season’s underlying statistics.

As this analysis uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

    Last one

    Pope (Button)
    Robertson - VVD - Zinchenko - Montoya (Lundstram)
    Salah - Sterling - Perez (Noble - Dendoncker)
    Kane - King - Wesley

    Wish I had the funds to go Noble > McGinn or Lund > 4.5 for better rotation but i think i might have to wait until gw3 and see

    RMT please..still can't kind of team I want.

    Pope-(Button)
    Robbo-TAA-Digne-Cathcart-(Diop)
    Sterling-Salah-Fraser-Perez-(Dendoncker)
    Wilson-Wood-(4.5)

    This team leaves me with 0.5 itb, which could help me to turn Wood or whoever 6.5 I have there into Haller or Kean, or even Wilson into Rashford if he starts scoring.

    Any feedback is much appreciated.

    What is the difference between ‘price’ & ‘price point’?

    The ‘point’ bit seems utterly pointless and something some retail manager has introduced to sound more smart.

      Just a guess, but I’d say - price is obvious and is just referring to how expensive a player is whereas price point refers to a group of players e.g 6.5 forward, 7.5 mid, 4.5 goalkeeper etc.

    Feel like Perez could be a trap, but can’t really shake him from my drafts.

    Seems best option at that price? Likely to play forward w Vardy in an attacking Leicester team with Tielemans and Maddison supplying...

    Anyone got an argument against him bar fixtures? Who’s better at that price, and why? (Tielemans similar arguments as Leicester mid, but obv on the more creative side)

      I don’t see why he would be a trap. OOP and proven goal scorer in the prem.

    Best 6.5 striker to have? Was thinking deeney myself, on penalties as well

      Tempted by him tbh. Currently got a Haller Wilson though, but Haller could become Deeney to start

      I've gone from King to Deulofeu to Jota to end up with Wood.

      Wood and Jota over the season. King is probably best for the start and Jota for slightly longer.

      Deeney has been living off penalties for years while being awful but one year he’ll be out the team, could be this year.

      Would go deeney, Watford have good games and deeney guaranteed 90 minutes and on penalties

      Out of 3 options.. I would pick Wood for pre-season form and fixtures.

      Fancy Wesley from GW2?

      I was torn between Deeney and Wood (due to Jota being in Armenia on Thursday) but will almost certainly go Deeney due to fixtures and Deulofeu's injury. Altho last time I brought Deeney in he was sent off against Arsenal

    I think im finally buckling under the pressure and needing to free up funds ... Im going for a £4.5M keeper.... they seem to be able to keep pace with the premiums...

    Ryan and Button the best way to go or go Pope and hope for save points through those sticky fixtures?
